CEPAL (ECLAC). Installed capacity for producing electricity

Dataset available for Latin-American and Caribbean Countries since 1990-2017 (Except Bahamas)

This variable provides information regarding production capacity of electric energy (power) of the country. Specifically corresponds to the set of all generators available capacity. It is important to consider that the installed capacity will probably be greater than the amount of electricity produced, since plants do not always operate at full capacity due to demand or supply reasons.

It is measured in megawatts and retrieved from OLADE.
